I have attached the following documents or items to aid you in your search for records:

I request that the documents be made available to me at no charge, as I am a journalist or reporter seeking information for news-gathering purposes. The information is not being sought for commercial purposes.

Regardless, please provide me with a specific charge list for any non-waived fees. If the fees will exceed $________ (________), please inform me before providing the records, as I do not wish to spend more than this amount. If it is possible to review the documents before they are copied, I request the opportunity to do so, to further limit my fees.

If any of the information is to be withheld under a specific statutory exemption, please inform me as to the specific exemption, as well as a categorized list of any information withheld or redacted.

If you are not the specific agency from whom I should be seeking this information, please let me know to which agency I should direct this request, or, if possible, send this request to that agency on my behalf.

I appreciate your assistance. If any further details are needed, please feel free to contact me at the phone number or email address listed above.
